GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mina Ashido (Rea-design)]

A solid Android 21 (DBZ) vibe.
I really like the puffy pants, though I am not sure what purpose they would serve in hero work.
Also, I am deeply impressed with your anatomical work, especially the musculature the back and arms.
Interestingly enough rendering Mina with a slightly more realistic face, while maintaining the more anime style proportions of her eyes work pretty effectively at making her maintain character, as she always had that semi-inhuman presentation.
Thank you for making this.

[Don't Go Down in Deep Space]

Fantastic.
The intensity of this piece is simply gorgeous, with a strong, cloying sense of madness.
I actually am reminded of a dwarf fortress Let's Play streamer, Kruggsmash, who often mentions that dwarves always mine to deep, and I feel this piece is almost the exact Sci-Fi counterpoint to that notion, that I didn't know I even needed.
There is certainly some great comparisons of being lost at sea, and the wrenching eternity of space, of a desperation of profit, and the lucid hope of every light in darkness, shadowed by that own void's potential nightmare.
oops, got a bit inspired there.
Thank you for making this.

edit: (I also enjoy the way you juxtaposed red black contrast.)

[PAT PAT BELUGA SHINES]

This is too powerful.
Belugas are great, and this is an adorable way to show it off in a sharp concise manner.
Thank you for making this.

[Shingeki no Bahamut - Cerberus]

*heh*
I am not a big fan of bikini armor in general, but I actually thing the very detailed and layered Gif aspects make this pretty amusing.
The way I can see the bristling ferocity of the dog mitts is pretty amazing, and gives and great sense on energy and liveliness.
You even caught very little things like shifting shadow, and the sway of the ties on the bottom.
I think having the mitts blink in unison gives a good signal or co-ordination between the two.
I honestly lovely to see you mess around more with light and shadow, but this is still quite impressive, and the dog fur was #worth.
Thank you for making this.

[[ANIMATION] Shego [KIM POSSIBLE]]

"You go gir....... She? She-go?" - (Ron Stoppable ((at some point (((probably.)))
This is an excellent charter study of that pure green She-go energy.
I really enjoy your work, and have been enjoying seeing what you put out since that really cool metroid short.
You bring such amazing '80 lazer disc flow to your work, and I am always paried in nostalgia when I see your work.
It certainly reminds me of early love for things like "Dirty Pair", "Slayers", and "Record of the Lotus War."
Keep doing what your doing with bringing those classic Seinen vibes to modern day.
Thank you for making this.

[Night out]

By the joy of light and dark!
I am a huge fan of the dynamics of light and shadow in general, but I real do enjoy the nature of your wisps here.
The have a slight "tar boy" energy to them, but with much more relaxed vibe overall.
I am going to go a ahead and follow you so I can keep tabs on your work, as I hope to see more from you.
Thank you for making this.

[Super Circuit Peach]

"Fast and the furious: Mushroom Drift"
That is an impressive number of shades of Pink!
The way the shades are layered really renders a very dynamic "drift energy!"
Also, I really enjoy your use of blue accents, it's a clever mover after shifting some of the pinks into a more purple spectrum, allowing the bright blue to be distinct, but still complementary.
Thank you for making this.

[2B Outfits]

Very interesting stylization!
The first piece, especially with much of the face obscured Ms. Bellum (The Power Puff Girls) vibe.
Over all both poses are an interesting combination of flat and awkward pose that it almost reminds me of a body at a crime scene.
That's not meant to be insulting, just for 2b, who is often presented as prim and proper and stiff, it's quite a erratic stance.
It's a nice variation.
Thank you for making this.

[Coloured Inktober]

I get some solid Umezu vibes from this.
I really like the fraught intensity coming from the pitch darkness outside the car, the scattered intensity of the eyes.
Your pen work caught both of those quite nicely.
The hands are oddly nerve raking in their stiff, fraught, detail, with the rest of the figure laid so flat.
In the colored version I find the dip in color on the figure's torso, but it's an interesting detail.
Thank you for making this.

Linttop responds:

Thank you I’m glad you like it!

[Lizzie]

Feisty!
I really enjoy your use of light and shadows in this.
The soft and blurry edges of how the light falls, in combination with the lily pads, gives an odd Monet vibe.
As for Lizzie her self, the face is playfully aggressive, and you borrowed all the right notes on green Hair from Jennifer Walters, with some nice ascents of lighter green on the tips. Th tail seems a little disproportionate, kinda like an African Fat-Tailed Gecko's, but it's possible since she is actively bearing teeth it is some kind of "puff-up" to assert dominance.
If the tail could puff up, it might also help with buoyancy, which could be relevant with the swamp setting.
The Mangrove like trees in the background are a nice touch as well, in part because they compliment the curves of Lizzie's tail.
Way to make that money flexing what you got, friend!
Thank you for making this.

Wow, what a comment. Thanks you...I had no idea what a Fat-Tailed Gecko was until now
